This time we added 1 to 2 drops of olive brine. Make a great cocktail outstanding.
The brine pulled out the herbal flavours of the gin, but did not make it a dirty martini. Also added a hint of other spices without being individually discernible.
Will be trying a drop of olive brine in other martinis.

Just make every martini a salad martini, coward. I would but then I'd probably stop eating anything else and expire from some 18th century pirate disease. God I love pickles.

One of my favorite comments on this site. Salute!

Tried again, but substituted grapefruit bitters for the orange bitters. A bit dryer cocktail and a hint of freshness. Love this drink it is so versatile.

You have to try it instead of with olives and onion, with what in Spain we call banderillas, which has an olive stuffed with pepper, an onion, a pickle and chilli. You can add a shot of the brine to the mix.

Added one drop of olive bitters. Softened the overall falvour of the cocktail.

Loved this. The dry martini with its hint of orange bitters. The colder the better. Garnish is an extra. I count this cocktail as a serving of vegetables.

Of course!! 😂

Almost an acknowledgement that drinking a martini is partly an excuse to nosh on some great pickled veggies. Good pickled onion recipe:

True. I say get creative with the garnish, much like a Bloody Mary. Personally I like adding some radish pieces onto the pick when I have them. The red-green-white looks nice. Will have to give those homemade cocktail onions a go too.
